Interpersonal harming behavior is the interpersonal-direct counterproductive behavior. It is contrary to the legitimate interests of the other members of the organization, for example, arguing, physical conflict, talking behind others, interference with the work of others and plagiarizing findings. Both individual factors (negative emotions, cognitive assessment, personality traits) and environmental factors affect the occurrence of interpersonal harming behavior. This paper introduced the mechanism of interpersonal harming behavior, which included the framework of the social network, social comparison, social dominance orientation values (SDO), and psychological collectivism. Finally, this paper prospected the follow-up study.
